Bianchi

Bianchi International is recognized by shooting enthusiasts and professionals as the largest leading designer/manufacturer of innovative, high quality handgun holsters and accessories. The company was started by John Bianchi forty-seven years ago, who was then a full time police officer in Southern California. Over the years, the company grew to worldwide prominence through its innovative holster designs and John’s ingenious, and sometimes unconventional marketing strategies.

Although Bianchi retired several years ago from the company he founded, his mark is left on a wide range of increasingly diversified and unique Bianchi holsters and accessories, available worldwide. Now as then, the Bianchi vision and commitment to innovative product design and handcrafting with the utmost care from the finest materials, continue to set new standards in the industry.

Headquartered in Temecula, California, the Bianchi International complex includes more than 70,000 square feet of research, design, development, manufacturing and support facilities. Fueled by continuing growth, an additional 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located in Imperial Valley, California. Bianchi’s primary markets are law enforcement, military and sporting;its products are sold globally through dealers and distributors.

Bianchi’s many patented innovations have aggressively and consistently set the pace in holster technology. It was Bianchi’s heritage and tradition in leather holsters and accessories that put the company on the map. Yet, while Bianchi’s reputation for exceptional leather products prevails, Bianchi history also includes revolutionary holster design in ballistic weave nylon and other high-performance man-made materials. Bianchi is capable of filling large order requirements on tight schedules, while employing the most advanced production and quality assurance techniques in the industry.

2000 - today
Not one to rest on its laurels, Bianchi continues its research and development in the synthetic and security holster arena. In 2001 Bianchi introduced the next industry advancement – AccuMold® Elite™ - a leather-look product that combines the strength and durability of synthetic, yet provides the professional, uniformed appearance of leather required by the uniformed law enforcement community - with half the weight. The company offers AccuMold® Elite™ holsters, accessories and belts.

Bianchi has continued its pursuit for improved retention while retaining a natural and fluid draw. In 2003, a significant advancement was made in weapon retention with Bianchi's new LOK™ holsters and the Auto Retention™ concept. Bianchi's Auto Retention™ provides for automatic mechanical retention when the weapon is properly holstered.

In December 2004, Bianchi International was acquired by Armor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AH), a leading manufacturer and distributor of security products and vehicle armor systems serving law enforcement, military, homeland security and commercial markets. Bianchi will be integrated into Armor Holdings' Products Division.

In Feburary 2005, Bianchi introduced it's new PatrolTek™ brand of duty accessories - a line of products for the professional that provide significant cost savings over premium brands, yet also offer a considerable improvement over similarly priced products on the market.
